Gagea lutea, known as the yellow star-of-Bethlehem, is a flowering plant in the lily family, Liliaceae. It grows from a bulb and is a herbaceous perennial with narrow, lance-shaped leaves and yellow flowers tinged with green, each made up of six tepals. The species has a Eurasian range: it is widespread across central Europe, with scattered populations in Great Britain, Spain and Norway and eastward to Siberia and Japan. It is mainly a lowland plant of moist, base-rich, shady ground, turning up in broad-leaf woodlands, hedgerows, limestone pavements, pastures and riverbanks. In East Anglia it has been used as an indicator of ancient woodland.
